Students design and test parachute landing systems to successfully land a probe on target.

Student teams use the engineering design process and everyday materials to design an insulator that will keep a small amount of water from rapidly changing temperature.

In this video lesson, students learn to design, build and launch paper rockets, calculate how high they fly and improve their designs.

Students generate maps and physical models of simulated surface features on Jupiter’s moon Europa while learning how spacecraft make maps using radar.

Students learn about Earth processes by simulating and examining lava flows from a volcano model made of play dough.

Students learn how scientists assess wildfires using remote sensing and solve related math problems, appropriate for various grade levels.

Students use advanced algebra concepts to determine the next opportunity to launch a spacecraft to Mars.

In this illustrated math problem, students use pi to compare the area of the Hubble Space Telescope and Webb Telescope’s primary mirror.

In this illustrated problem set, students use pi to calculate the size of a Mars rock sample, compare the mirrors of two space telescopes, deduce an asteroid's makeup, and size up a solar eclipse.
